Abstract: A method of and a device for determining the total playing time of a magnetic tape accommodated in a cassette (1) in a magnetic-tape recording and/or reproducing apparatus, for example, a video recorder of the helical-scan type. The tape (4) is moved between a tape spool coupled to a first reel disc (2) and a tape spool coupled to a second reel disc (3), two measurements being carried out. In the first measurement, the tape is moved with a known tape speed. The revolution times (Tl, Tr) of the first and the second reel disc are measured in this first measurement and a parameter is derived which corresponds to the sum of the squares of the revolution times. A cassette-specific constant ( beta ) is derived from this parameter and the known tape speed. In a second measurement, the revolution times of the first and the second reel disc are measured during N revolutions of one of the two reel discs for each revolution of this reel disc. For each revolution, a ratio K(n) is calculated from the revolution times thus determined and the cassette-specific constant, K(n) being proportional to L(n)/Lt and Lt being the total length of the tape and L(n) being either the length already used or the residual length of the tape, where n is an integer and 1</=n</=N. In an approximation, the N calculated ratios K(n) are approximated by an at least quadratic function in dependence on n and the total playing time is determined from a constant A in the function (K(n)=X+Axn+Bxn2+ . . . ) thus obtained.

Abstract: A seating unit (1) comprises a fixed housing (10) containing a primary seat with a reclinable back arranged to recline in such a manner that it remains within the housing. The seating unit is suitable for a aircraft cabin and may further comprise a leg-rest arranged to cooperate with the seating portion to form part of a substantially flat surface when the back is reclined in a substantially horizontal position. The seating unit may further comprise a secondary seat (3) positioned to face the primary seat, the secondary seat having a seating portion positioned to cooperate with the leg-rest of the primary seat to form a portion of the substantially flat surface when the back of the primary seat is reclined in the substantially horizontal position. Privacy between seats and use of available space within an aircraft cabin may be optimised by arranging at least some of the seats in an echelon. <IMAGE>

Date Jun. 27, 1996A reactor for catalytic dehydrogenation of dehydrogenatable hydrocarbons, in particular C3 and/or C4 hydrocarbons, in a hydrocarbon-containing stream, with selective oxidation of hydrogen. The reactor comprises serially connected in the flow direction of the hydrocarbon-containing stream: a first catalyst zone (2), an oxygen admixing zone (3) provided with a means (5) for separate feeding of an oxygen-containing gas into the hydrocarbon-containing stream, and a second catalyst zone (4). The oxygen admixing zone (3) has a cross section area in the flow direction of the hydrocarbon-containing stream which is from 0.5% to 75% of the cross section area of each of the two catalysts zones (2, 4), so as to obtain a higher flow velocity in the oxygen-admixing zone (3) than in the catalyst zones. The means (5) for feeding oxygen-containing gas is designed to feed said gas with a flow velocity which is at least 1 m/s and is up to 200 times higher than the flow velocity of the hydrocarbon-containing stream in the oxygen-admixing zone. The oxygen-admixing zone (3) is free of catalyst at least in the region adjacent to the oxygen feeding means (5).

Abstract: The invention relates to a cooling system for a turbine-driven generator (2) in a tank (1) surrounded by running water (12) and a tubular turbine generator (2) with a cooling system (3) and generator drive cooling. The aim of the invention is to provide a corresponding novel cooling system and especially a novel cooled tubular turbine generator (2). The novel cooling system is to be simple and, as far as possible, without adverse effect on the mechanical bearing structure of the tank (1). It is to be constructed with the least extensive equipment possible and, above all, be universally usable. This aim is achieved by a tubular turbine generator (2) with an air/liquid heat exchanger (3) inside the tank (1) connected on the liquid side to pipes (6) leading in closed circuit to at least one liquid/liquid heat exchanger (13) in heat conductive connection with the running water (12) outside the tank (1).

Abstract: The invention concerns a product container (1) for flowing and/or pourable products, with a filling and emptying aperture (3), a spray insert (5) or similar unit and a sealing cap (7). The proposed product container is intended as a solution to the problem of providing a simple, inexpensive, reliable and material-saving way of removing and safely storing the spray insert or similar unit until reinstalled, for the purpose of refilling the product container. This is achieved by providing the spray insert (5) with an edge region (12) which radially covers at least part of the edge contour (11) of the filling and emptying aperture (3). The spray insert (5) is levered out of the filling and emptying aperture (3) by tilting the sealing cap (7), which serves as a tool, and held in the sealing cap.

Abstract: A method for producing flexible, low-bulk towpreg which involves powder coating a bundle of unspread fiber tows (35) arranged in a predetermined cross-sectional shape, and the resulting towpreg. During the powder coating process, the resin powder particles (82) do not enter into the fiber bundle, but rather only coat the surface fibers comprising the tows, resulting in dry fibers (80) in the core of the towpreg and outer fibers which are coated with a discontinuous sheath of resin on the surface of the towpreg surrounding the core of dry fibers. The resin layer on the surface of the towpreg is formed by a partial melting of the powder particles. A post treatment process can be used to convert flat ribbon towpreg produced in accordance with the present invention into flexible unidirectional tape.

Abstract: L'invention concerne l'amélioration de l'efficacité de décharges électriques pour couper des fils de connexion (102,202) et/ou former des sphères (234, 236) aux extrémités des fils de connexion (y compris des fils de connexion (202) déjà coupés par d'autres mécanismes). Cette amélioration consiste à effectuer les décharges électriques en présence d'une lumière ultraviolette (130). Un 'écartement d'électrodes' est formé entre une électrode sans flamme électronique (118, 232) et le fil (102, 202), l'un des deux servant de cathode pour l'écartement d'électrodes. De préférence, la lumière ultraviolette (130) est dirigée au niveau de l'élément servant de cathode. La photoémission au niveau de l'élément formant cathode stabilise la formation de l'arc/du plasma et permet d'obtenir des résultats d'une meilleure fiabilité. Cette technique peut être utilisée en association avec des systèmes d'électrodes sans flamme électronique négatives ou positives, et permet d'améliorer tant les photoémissions directes que les photoémissions à effet de champ.
